Yes, it was disappointing to see such a large conservative contingent at the conference 😞1:22:32 Altruism isn't the primary force holding our movement back. It's even more fundamental: People can't think.1:23:21 The best way to solve a problem isn't always by focusing on it. Sometimes, it's by defocusing and expanding our awareness that our problems start to look small and a simple solution arises-if it's even needed.1:24:42 Here is some love. Thank you for talking sense in an insane world!1:24:53 Merry Christmas to you Yaron, and to the whole YBS Army, from Five Minutes with Robert & Amy NAY-Sir!1:26:03 Your streams are a light in the darkness 🫶1:26:17 If the government’s mandate is to protect its citizen’s rights, to what degree should it intervene when these rights are violated abroad?1:31:41 What do you see as the philosophy of people who avoid ideas, but just want to get along? For instance, my Mom and relatives dislike and abhor challending ideas and just want to agree to reinforce being family and friends.1:33:29 The price good people pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.1:34:09 What's the difference between a copywrite, a patent, and a trademark?1:35:12 Acting in self defense means acting in self interest Which is why the left hates gun rights.1:35:25 Big disaster for Liberal party in Canada today. The end is near!1:35:37 I am actually optimistic. The left is unwinding everywhere. I think we will see more of a free market shift, then a fascist shift from the right.1:36:03 The anti enlightenment and anti western impulses people have is just insane. What our intellectuals have done to us is unspeakable.1:36:43 The many pilgrimages of CEO's to Mar-a-Lago are a sad testimony to the death of capitalism.1:37:39 The more i learn about people, the more I like my dog.1:38:01 Is there a scenario where authoritarianism happens fast in America? Outside of a rapid economic collapse?1:38:59 "Birds of a feather flock together". You do not approve of Trump but approve of Musk. Why? In one of Donahue's shows Ayn Rand said she did not approve of John Rockefeller. What values is Musk loyal to?...that's what Ayn Rand was loyal to.1:41:19 What was Ayn Rand's view on the cuban missile crises? Did she believe we should have bombed Cuba rather than imposing a wimpy blockade?1:42:01 Thoughts on the school chsooting today in Wisconsin?1:43:13 In the old days, Objectivists called this "Social Metaphysics" ... Trump literally doesn't believe in reality ... so-called "FACTS" are NEGOTIABLE.1:43:43 Would you support Ukraine joining NATO in the next year or so? Are they not too corrupt? I believe NATO said they are.1:44:39 Missed you while you traveled. Would you consider having previous guests rotate as YBS hosts?1:45:21 thiel is to the end a giradian.1:45:33 Let it all loose- what do you think of Liz Warren?1:47:23 Have you thought about chatting with the streamer Destiny? He’s gained much notoriety in the online politics space, and his platform might serve as useful exposure to the ideas of Objectivism.1:48:34 Did you mention Israel today? Apart from Syria, is their military on the move again in Gaza? Lebanon?1:49:59 Was the Oxford Union debate published in its entirety?. i am finding only parts of it.1:50:26 Were you surprised by Steven Forbes's answer to a news caster that he is for Trump's tarrifs1:51:22 Did you ever get your M4 Mac?

In his lecture "The Decline of Art in Western Civilization," Yaron Brook explores how the prevailing philosophical outlook in a culture is reflected in its art. Using examples spanning centuries, he traces the evolution of the view of humanity through major works of sculpture.Brook contrasts the static, idealized figures of ancient Egypt, the downtrodden and despairing forms of the Middle Ages, the heroic and life-affirming works of the Renaissance (highlighting Michelangelo), and the fragmented, distorted human depictions of the modern era (examining works by Giacometti). Through these comparisons, he illustrates the decline of art's portrayal of humanity as philosophical ideas moved away from reason and individualism toward nihilism and subjectivism.Delivered in Oslo, Norway, on December 1, 2024.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/yaron-brook-show--3276901/support.

In this talk, Yaron Brook examines the alarming growth of authoritarianism within Western democracies. He discusses how expanding government regulations, heightened surveillance, and centralized control over both economic and social spheres are eroding individual freedoms. Brook traces these developments to deeper philosophical and cultural shifts, notably the rejection of individualism in favor of collectivist ideologies. Highlighting the dire consequences of this trend for liberty and prosperity, he calls for a revival of Enlightenment principles—emphasizing reason, individual rights, and limited government—as the antidote to authoritarianism's rise.This talk was given on December 1, 2024 in Oslo, Norway at the Gamle Raadhus Scene.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/yaron-brook-show--3276901/support.
